Mission & Goals

The Campus / Community Coalition was established to address high-risk
drinking and its harmful effects on students at local college campuses and
in the community. The Coalition is part of a national effort to reduce
alcohol consumption among college students.

The goals of the Coalition are to:

Reduce rates of high-risk drinking among College students

Reduce the second-hand effects of high-risk drinking experienced
by students and community members

Improve the quality of academic and social life for all students

Enhance the relationship between area colleges and their neighboring communities

To achieve these goals the Coalition is engaged in on-going efforts
designed to develop an environment which encourages responsible decisions
about alcohol consumption on campus and in the community. These efforts
include:

Heightening awareness among students of the level of binge
drinking on campus, as well as the consequences and long-term effects of
this behavior

Working with college administration, student groups, and cultural
organizations in the community to offer alcohol-free entertainment

Building partnerships with local government officials, community
leaders, and bar and restaurant owners to develop community-based
solutions

Advocating changes to campus alcohol policies and city and state
alcohol-related laws to support an environment of responsible drinking

Monitoring and promoting enforcement of alcohol-related policies
and laws
